Search the net... It's not a configuration problem, or if it is, it's affected many many users without any apparent resolution available. Have a glance at the results returned by Google for these search texts: "win32 error 1062" cygwin "Could not load host key" You'll see, as I have, that it's all but assuredly not a configuration issue. The likely issue here is one with rights (Not owned by 'SYSTEM' and dir attributes). The two directories that this is entails are /var/log and /var/empty. As I said prior, I believe I know of a way of resolving the issue, but it entails rebooting to safe mode and other details which isn't important to someone that's gotten a fair kludge working.
